The purpose of this document is to set out Crossrail’s requirements for risk management activities within its organisation, including the interface with its Contractors.

This procedure:

• Addresses management and communication of risk, where a risk is defined as an uncertain event or set of circumstances that, should it occur, will affect the project’s objectives. This includes risk of any type, affecting schedule, safety, cost, quality, 3rd Parties, environment, reputation, etc.
• Applies to all parts (Delivery and Functional) and levels of the Crossrail organisation. The requirements for risk management activities by Crossrail’s Contractors are described elsewhere, in their respective contract Works Information.
• Applies at all delivery stages (design, construction, commissioning and handover).

This procedure also supports compliance with the Joint Code of Practice for Risk Management of Tunnel Works in the UK.
